Wide Receiver Albert Wilson

(What are some things the team didn’t do well that came to light against the Patriots?) – “Kind of the same thing we were going through earlier in the preseason. Penalties, long third downs. That’s not the type of offense we are. When we keep it third-and-minimum, second-and-minimum, we do pretty well. I felt like early in the game, (they) got us out of positions to make plays and continued to keep the ball driving. They got up quick and I feel like it was pretty much history.”

(Head Coach Adam Gase said you guys got out-physicaled. When you hear that, how do you guys take that knowing that that’s something that can’t ever happen?) – “It is what it is. We’ve all seen the tape. We’ve all seen what happened. That’s pretty much what happened all game, from the jump. We can’t go out like that.”

(This seems to be the blueprint of how to beat you guys. This is probably something that you’re going to see from other teams, how do you try to combat that?) – “What’s the blueprint?”

(Jamming you guys at the line or making you guys make mistakes with penalties and stuff like that.) – “I don’t feel like that was the problem. No team can force penalties. I feel like we did that ourselves. We shot ourselves in the foot. I feel like if we came out with energy – like I’ve been saying all week, teams are going to have to match our energy. I feel like we didn’t have any energy going in and that’s what happens.”

(Is it more of a challenge to overcome a loss by 20 or 30 points versus one or two points?) – “Are you saying if we were down by that many?”

(No, after you lose a game.) – “A loss is a loss, no matter what it is. One point or 50 points. It really doesn’t matter once the score is over with. It looks bad on paper, but a loss is a loss. We just have to overcome it.”

(You’re new to this team. What did you see from the fight throughout the game even when you guys were down big?) – “We kept fighting. I feel like when we scored late in the fourth. That was pretty good to see. When we got back and saw the film, we were getting the chance to run the ball in the fourth. I feel like we just go off of that. We put that last drive out there, we build off of that and we continue to play football.”

(We see you guys rallying on the sideline, there’s a lot of talking from leaders on this team.) – “Yes. We’re just trying to keep the guys up. You don’t want to see anybody get down or anything. Adversity happens. We just have to adapt and adjust to that. We’ll be better.”

(I know this is probably the bad end to finish these four games, but you’re still 3-1, still on top of your division. Is this something to take away from that?) – “You’re just as good as your last game. That’s what it’s all about. We took a big L. We’ve all have to play better. Myself, I have to do better. I have to be there for Ryan (Tannehill) when he needs me. I have to get open faster and make plays down the field. I can’t allow a guy to intercept the ball on me. I have to block better on the outside, stretch to finish. I just have to play better.”

(When you guys lose like this, is there much needed to be said by the leaders in the locker room or do you guys just know ‘as a man, we just have to do better?’) – “Everybody knows. One-on-one challenges, it goes on every week. We all took a beating. Like you said, no man wants to lay down for anybody. Things don’t have to be said, but things need to be said. We said what we need to do. We all watched the film, we all saw what happened from the jump. We just can’t go out like that.”

(Head Coach Adam Gase said it was kind of a somber day today. You guys are kind of quiet, real upset about the loss. Is that the case, are you guys just kind of down a little bit today?) – “No, I don’t feel that way. I feel like we took it on the chin. It didn’t go as planned, like I said. We just have to do better. Everybody knows they have to play better. It’s a new week and we’re focused on the Bengals.”
